About Live 4 Tay:

The Live 4 Tay Foundation was founded in September, 2012, in memory of 16-year-old Taylor Filorimo. Taylor was diagnosed at the age of 13 with Renal Cell Carcinoma, Papillary Type II, a type of kidney cancer typically found in men over the age of 50. She was the youngest known case ever diagnosed. Tay spent most of her free time during three years of treatment making friends and finding ways to help other families, even if it was just to brighten their day. She loved softball and supported her team from the hospital or the dugout, even when she couldn't play. Her friends started the Play 4 Tay softball tournament as a way to help support her family while she was getting treatment. Over the course of three years, Tay saw her tournament grow with support from her softball community and said, "When my family no longer needs this support, I want my tournament to continue so that it can help other families." The Live 4 Tay Foundation has grown past an annual softball tournament, and now benefits from year-round fundraising events to sustain their mission to provide financial assistance to families who have children with cancer. They also support awareness events and funding for pediatric cancer research.

The Live 4 Tay Foundation is a community based Tennessee 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families who have children with cancer by providing financial assistance generated through fundraising events to increase awareness for childhood cancer. They maintain a passionate commitment to raise funds, foster community support, and promote childhood cancer awareness.
